The South East Asian Treaty Organization (SEATO) was established under the aegis of the Manila Pact which was formed in September 1954. As an international organization with its headquarters in Bangkok, SEATO had two functions; first, it was to provide limited economic assistance and counter-insurgency advice to its Southeast Asian members — Thailand and the Philippines. Second, its Military Planning Office comprised a group of senior officers drawn from member countries whose job it was to prepare plans for an alliance response in the event of a Communist invasion of Indochina. In this sense SEATO was created to ensure that the Vietnamese Communists would observe the Geneva agreements of July 1954.

Variations in levels of absentee ownership & changes in ownership patterns over time are examined for a sample of US communities with a population of 50,000+ in 1960 (excluding the 5 largest cities). Cities in the Midwest, South, & West have higher levels of absentee ownership than cities in the Northeast, as do central cities compared to suburban communities, smaller cities, & cities with a large proportion of the LF employed in manufacturing. These results suggest that absentee ownership conforms only partially to trends in the manufacturing sector as a whole. In addition, the results call into question the notion that power has shifted from the Snowbelt to the Sunbelt. 2 Tables. Modified HA.

Signs of a reversal in the US population distribution have attracted recent research interest. A study of the characteristics of migrants involved in this reversal was made possible through data from a 1968-1977 U of Mich household sample survey of about 6,000 families in 685 counties & 49 states. Migrant characteristics, indicated through demographic, SE, & family life cycle variables, are analyzed to suggest migration direction: Ur-Ru migration exceeds Ru-Ur migration in the Northeast; in the South, migration is chiefly Ru-Ur. Most Ur-Ru migrants tend to be from highly Ur environments. These movements are judged to be independent from "white flight" & "Sunbelt" movements. 3 Tables. Modified HA.

Recent challenges to the unity of the nation-state in advanced industrial societies have surprised most of us. Scotland, Quebec, Flanders, Occitania, bCatalonia and other regions have made life more interesting politically and more confusing intellectually. While the emergence of ethnic consciousness, or concern with ethnic identity, appears nearly universal across Europe and North America (or indeed around the globe)nationalist movements—demands for autonomy or outright separation—are not equally strong: the nationalism of the Scots, the Basques, Catalans, Croats, Flemish, and Quebecois is far more powerful than that of the Alsatians, Bretons, South Italians, and the Occitents.

This paper reports the findings of a study examining the diffusion of innovations among units of local government. The results of the study were similar to the findings reported by Gray concerning policy innovation in the states. Innovation in local government is issue-specific. While geographic diffusion patterns were noted, they tended to be different for each specific innovation. In general, there are no innovative or non-innovative cities. Cities in Walker's innovative states were no more or less innovative than cities in his least innovative states. Cities in the South and Southwest seem to be as innovative as their counterparts in other parts of the country.

Describes a five-year research and demonstration project which trains and assesses the effectiveness of "barefoot" rehabilitation workers. The workers, all raised in rural villages in south India and familiar with the social structure of rural areas, received a few weeks of intensive training, including instruction in eye health care, basic mobility, daily living, and manual dexterity. Learning from experience, regular refresher courses, and project reviews increased their skills. The principal objective of rehabilitation was integration of blind individuals into family and community life. Results to date show service was delivered at costs low enough to be feasible in a developing nation.

Analysis of the 1968 Survey Res Center survey data reveals that, although southern whites' civil rights att's were more closely associated with their feelings about Negroes than among non-southerners, in both groups articulation between "primitive" feelings about blacks & civil rights att's was less than Daryl J. Bem's notion of the "vertical structure of beliefs" predicts. In addition, doubts are cast about the validity of the SRC's "opinion thermometer" as an indicator of whites' feelings about black people, as many people seemed to give "soc'ly acceptable" replies when queried about their orientations about black people as a "visible soc grouping."

Contemporary evolutionary typologies characterize band society largely on the basis of patrilocal residence and/or patrilineal descent patterns. The South American data challenge the adequacy and universal applicability of these models with a high incidence of matriliny and matrilocality and with forms of political integration that extend far beyond the local residential group. Furthermore, when viewed in a diachronic perspective, these hunters and gatherers have undergone a process of simplification from early contact to modern times. Contemporary band societies appear to represent degenerated structures formerly characterized by larger population concentrations, corporate unilineal descent groups, and heterogeneous political communities.

A CAJM article on causes of abdominal pain in an African girl in the rural Southern Rhodesia of the 1950's. ; The acute abdomen in the African is full of the unexpected, and any surgeon attacking the abdomen must be prepared for whatever he finds. This is especially difficult for the district government medical officers in the more isolated stations, where no ancillary services are at hand and no second opinion can be sought. The case reported here is one of torsion of a wandering spleen which was found lying in the right iliac fossa and pelvis adjacent to the uterus and right fallopian tube.

In the judgment in Georgia v. Russia (application no. 38263/08), the European Court of Human Rights examined the existence of effective control over the territory where the armed conflict between the Russian Federation and Georgia took place. Applying the concept formulated in the case Bankovich and Others v. Belgium (application no. 522207/99), the Grand Chamber determined that Russia had not exercised jurisdiction in the affected territory during the period of active hostilities. However, after the ceasefire, the Chamber found an exercise of extraterritorial jurisdiction by the Russian Federation. In light of the evidence's full weight, the Chamber found an administrative practice for which the Russian Federation was responsible. As the European Court found, the administrative practice in question contravened several articles of the Convention and its Protocols in terms of the killing of civilians, torching and looting of houses in Georgian villages in South Ossetia and the "buffer zone" (violation of Articles 2, 3 and 8 of the Convention, Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 of the Convention); Conditions of detention of Georgian citizens and the humiliating acts to which they were exposed (violation of Article 5 of the Convention); torture of Georgian prisoners of war detained by South Ossetian forces (violation of Article 3 of the Convention); and the inability of Georgian nationals to return to their respective homes (violation of Article 2 of Protocol No. 4 of the Convention). The Chamber also found a violation of Article 2 of the Convention regarding the Russian Federation's failure to effectively investigate the alleged crimes committed in the affected territory. The argument of a violation of Article 2 of Protocol No. 1 of the Convention was rejected.
